Frequently Asked Questions

General

Are my payments safe?

Feel safe when making a purchase, as a device-specific Device Account Number is assigned to your card once it is registered in Apple Pay for the specific device. Your card details (card number, expiration, CVV) are never stored on your device or on Apple servers and they will not be shared with merchants.

Please note that the device-specific Device Account Number used for your Apple Pay transactions is printed on the POS receipt.

You can find here how your payment information is protected.

Troubleshooting

My physical registered in Apple Pay card has been lost / stolen what should I do?

In case of theft / loss of your card, contact Customer Service at 210 3288000. Your physical card will be replaced and once you receive and activate it, it will automatically be updated on Apple Pay without any further action. Apple Pay automatic update excludes debit cards that are reissued due to loss, theft or damage from the Piraeus Bank Branches or the Customer Service, for which you will need to go through the process of adding the new card to Apple Pay.

I am waiting for my card replacement; can I use it via Apple Pay until the new physical card arrives?

In case of a registered in Apple Pay card is replaced, either automatically due to expiration or at your request due to theft, loss or damage, transactions via Apple Pay may continue to be performed with it, for a limited period, even if the new card has not been activated yet. This period is provided by the Bank for your convenience and shall not replace your obligation to activate the new physical card. This period is not provided for debit cards that are reissued, due to theft, loss or damage, from the Piraeus Bank Branches or the Customer Service.

What happens if my device is replaced or updated?

In case that you replace or update your device, you will need to add your cards again to Apple Pay following the set-up process. It is strongly recommended to remove your cards from Apple Pay from your device before replacing it.
